We taste thousands of bottles of wine every year and only about 20% make it into our store. We make a special effort to make sure the wines we carry are the best they can be in any given price point. We deal mostly with families and not corporations and we buy wines that are grown, not fabricated. We try to help you find something you’re really going to like without depending on point systems that are paid for by the magazines. Are we psyched when we find out that a wine we like ranks high with the mags? Sure. But when wines we’ve been jazzed about for months start showing up in wine publications… we know it’s time to move on to the next thing.
